August Lunar Eclipse

The last time a total solar eclipse was seen in the United States was in 1979, before Axia Home Loan’s time, however we will be present for this solar eclipse happening on August 21, 2017. Although 48 states will be able to see at least a partial eclipse, there is a 70-mile totality path where the total solar eclipse is fully visible and these are the states with the best locations to view it. So get out there bright an early to catch a glimpse at this very rare occasion!
